Reverend Jesse Jackson has decided to visit Sensata protestors in Freeport as part of his “Rebuild America Tour.” Jackson has yet to confirm when exactly he will be in the area, but a representative from the Rainbow Push Coalition visited Freeport on Friday to meet with the workers and prepare for the visit.
According to Bishop T. Lane Grant, National Field Director for the Rainbow Push Coalition, Jackson will be visiting sometime in the next seven days.
Jackson’s visit will come on the heels of a busy stretch for the protestors that have included visits in the last week from U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the Democratic challenger for the Illinois 17th District Cheri Bustos, as well as live broadcasts at the camp by MSNBC on Friday and CNN earlier in the week.
Reverend Al Sharpton is scheduled to appear at “Bainport” at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Previously, the workers have hosted appearances from Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and former NAACP Chairman Julian Bond.
